In a time when the future of the National Football League is uncertain, many players are looking for something to fill their time. They're trying it all, from selling suits to playing soccer.

Baltimore Raven Tom Zbikowski has joined this group of adventurers.

On Saturday night, the safety stepped into the ring to continue his professional boxing career against Caleb "True Grit" Grummet, and he was able to win by unanimous decision, according to The Baltimore Sun.

In light of the lockout, Zbikowski was able to put his boxing gloves back on and return to his first love.

Previously, he fought for Notre Dame and posted a 75-15 amateur boxing record with the Fighting Irish. Before his return this year, Zbikowski's last fight was at Madison Square Garden on June 10, 2006. In his first professional fight, he knocked out Robert Bell in the first round, but put his boxing career on hold to enter the NFL.

"Boxing has had to take a back seat to my football career because [the NFL] is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he said. "You have to take the opportunity when it comes to you. But boxing is not a hobby. When you fight professionally, you have to take it seriously."

"I wanted to get the ring rust off in this fight," he said. "Right now, this isn't a second career for me. It's a first career."

Fast-forward to March 26.

Just two weeks after his return bout, "Tommy Z" climbed back between the ropes and fought his way to a unanimous decision over Grummet. Zbikowski faced another weight disadvantage, as his opponent weighed 215 pounds to his 195.
